Emilia-Romagna is an ancient fertile civilization located in the northeast of the country. The region derives its name from the name of an old road that at some point connected the north of Italy with the Roman Empire. This region is rich in culture and history and this reflects directly on its several ancient universities, monuments, cuisine as well as wines. The barbarians who were the original inhabitants of the Emilia region starting producing the sparkling wine famous today while the Roman settlers in Romagna produced structured reds that are still made in this wine region.

The geographical diversity found in this region has resulted in the formation of several distinct terroirs. The rolling hills, low-lying plains, coastal belts and abundant rivers make it an immensely fertile region especially good for production of wine-making grape varieties.
